New Guinea Abelam Yam Mask

This fine example of a New Guinea Abelam Yam Mask has starlike shapes in it's eyes. The mask measures about 10" tall x 7 1/4" wide and is about 4 1/2" from the front of the nose to one of the the rear edges. The mask still has most of it's original pigment which has begun flaking off of the edges and eyes of the finely woven split rattan beneath.
